Setare is a 5th-year Biomedical Engineering student at UBC. She volunteers at the Implantable Biosensing Lab (IBL) at ICORD, where, as a former professional athlete representing Team BC and a certified personal trainer, she’s excited by how biosensors translate into sports-medicine applications. Her favourite coursework and projects sit at the intersection of systems and signals: building tools, writing firmware, and using data to inform better clinical decisions. She previously conducted research with Dr. Dongsheng Xiao, helping implement wireless EEG data transmission for real-time seizure detection.
